• Ches played our beach wedding in Cape San Blas, Florida. Ches was very professional and accommodating. The day of the wedding he came early to set up with all the necessary equipment. He also provided feedback and suggestions to help our wedding run smoothly. During the wedding ceremony he played unplugged on the beach and it sounded fantastic. During the reception he played to the crowd and rocked the house. He has a great voice and brought a lot of energy to our reception. Ches was instrumental in making our wedding not only special but also very fun!! We would whole heartedly recommend Chesleigh for any event. -- Bob C, Port St Joe, FL, 6/18/2009
• Canada loves Ches!!! If we could have we would have snatched him up and brought him home with us... Ches has an incredible voice and amazing talent. It was an absolute pleasure having him perform at our beach wedding and making our day so truly special and memorable! Everyone enjoyed Ches' music and friendly outgoing personality. We would highly recommend him! Hope to see Ches make his way north of the border one day. Thanks again for everything Ches!

• We hired Ches for our annual company picnic. He was phenominal, I was approached by so many of our guest's asking "where did you find him ?, I think I am going to see if he is available for my party in a couple of months." I highly recommend Ches for any function you might have. Ches you were awesome, thank you for a great night ! Leslie B. Northwestern Benefit Corp. of GA -Atlanta, GA -- Leslie B, Atlanta, GA, 7/8/2008

• Ches is FANTASTIC! He provided the perfect blend of entertainment for our Club's Member/Guest poolside luau. He is extremely easy going, professional and easy to work with. His song list is perfect for any event and his flexibility and accomodating nature makes Ches a pleasure to work with. I do a lot of preliminary screening for musicians via websites and online demos. Ches sounds great online but even better in person. I definitely recommend Ches to anyone who wants quality entertainment at their next event. We will definitely book him for future functions at our Club! -- Elaine S, Canton, GA, 6/14/2008
• Ches did a phenominal job at our wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. In addition to our reception, he also handled the music for our ceremony and helped to make it unique and special. His talent, professionalism, and personality pushed the reception into a blast. We would highly recommend him! Lisa and John Reid -- Lisa A, Sunset, SC, 9/20/2008
• Ches was an amazing person to work with. He was by far one of my most responsive and professional vendors and did everything possible to ease my mind that our cocktail reception would be perfect - he even let me create a song list and offered to learn a couple new tunes! I know that I'm super excited to refer him to friends as is my wedding planner. My only regret is that we only made it to the last part of our cocktail reception but I know that friends and family really enjoyed every minute! -- Mariam P, Atlanta, GA, 4/18/2009
• Our event was perfect from the 1st contact with Ches to the end. Ches was very professional and accomadating with booking, set up and of course the music. Ches totally got the feel for our wide range of age guests and was a crowd pleaser! We not only would HIGHLY recommend Ches, we will be using him for future events as well....(along with many of our guests) Thank you Ches! Caleb and Tonya Duncan Lawrenceville GA -- Tonya D, Lawrenceville, GA, 5/3/2008

Everyone enjoyed him, in fact, Gigmasters was absolutely correct when they said Ches would 'leave your guests wanting more'! We will definitely be hiring him again for future community functions. Thank you very much. Vanessa Berry Governors Towne Club Acworth, GA -- Vanessa B, Acworth, GA, 4/25/2009

• Great performance. Excellent musician. Played crowd requests. Everyone was very happy and we had a great time. -- Glenn B, Alpharetta, GA, 12/13/2008
• Ches was just what I needed to put my Christmas party over the top. I knew I didn't have guest who would sing along or dance, so it was a risk I was taking. The music addition made everyone feel at ease. It was the best Christmas party I have given. Every guest commented on what a good time they had. -- Suzanne B, Birmingham, AL, 12/19/2008
• Ches did a great job. He setup early, sounded great, and was very accomodating. Thanks Ches. -- David W, Alpharetta, GA, 3/14/2009
• Ches performed at our wedding (a casual, outdoor event) and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ches was particularly good at just going with the flow and being very flexible as the night went on. He was able to change the song choices according to the mood of the group at any one moment, and even took requests from the audience. I HIGHLY recommend Ches. -- Kathy P, Cumming, GA, 5/23/2009
• Ches Eaton is a talent and true professional! He made my husband's 40th birthday party a very fun and memorable night. His song list is diverse, extensive and his voice is incredible! I would absolutely recommend him and plan to book him again in the near future! -- Stephanie S, Birmingham, AL, 9/12/2009
